This is a stretch of impudent assurance for which the country did not previously give it sufficient credit. In ordinary cases men are content with exer cising, as if by stealth, privileges and powers injurious to the rights and liberties of others ; where the magni tude of the oppressor's power renders responsibility hopeless, and the complaints of the oppressed arc treated with silent contempt ; but it was reserved for a British House of Lords to call upon the objects of its contumely for a justification of its conduct. Lord LYNDHURST has appealed to the people, and the people are about taking his Lordship at his word. He has acknowledged that there is sufficient grounds for a trial ; he has put the House of Peers upon its de fence ; he has admitted the absolute right of the country to sit in judgment upon its constitutional exercise of privileges which it claims in virtue of the Constitution ; and he has confessed that from its verdict there neither is nor ought to be an appeal. All this his Lordship has virtually done by his late intemperate attack upon the House of Commons. He probably was not aware of one tenth of the consequences which must result from this ill-judged exhibition J f Tory malignity. Very possibly he only sought to embarrass Ministers, by proclaiming the sovereignty of the people out of doors— net of the House of Commons, but of the political unionists—of the men who wrested from the Peers themselves the disfranchisement of the rotten boroughs, and the reform of the English corporations. But, whatever was his Lordship's object, the people of Eng land are preparing to prove to the Lords that they comprehend the full force of the appeal thus made to them. They will overlook the implied insult of the whole proceeding, and set themselves seriously to the discharge of what the House of Lords, by its vote, declares to he a duty. But why did Lord LYNDHURST appeal from the representatives of the people to the people themselves ? Was it because his Lordship entertains a high regard for the wisdom and moderation of political clubs and associations ? Does he indeed suppose that the liberal party in the House of Commons would suffer diminu tion if exposed to the trial of another general election ? Or does Lord LYNDHURST desire that a deputation from every county, city, and corporate borough in England, Ireland, and Scotland shall attend at their Lordships' Bar, to inform our hereditary Solons how cordially the country approves of their treatment of the Irish Church Bills, the Irish Corporation Bill, the Chancery Reform Bill, and some twenty others, burked and bishoped by their Lordships during the present Session of Parliament ? According to his Lordship the people are not represented in the House of Commons. Will Lord LYNDHURST, as an honest man, and a Privy Councillor, give us one proof that he is sincere in making this statement ? Will he, for example, decline to receive a pension drawn from supplies voted by a body of men whom he appeals from as not being in reality the representatives of the people ? Will he likewise take upon him to advise his MA JESTY, on the part of himself and his household, to spare the public purse, for one season at least, from a similarly conscientious motive ? This is not asking too much of a Nobleman of Lord LYNDHURST'S boasted patiotism, and attachment to all the forms of the Constitution. His Lordship is of course well aware, that it is a principle of the Constitution that none but the lawful and virtual representatives of the British people can vote away their money, for any purpose, without a violation of the very essence of British liberty. Now he denies that the people of England were constitutionally represented in the last Parliament. Will his Lordship, therefore, con vince us of his honesty and sincerity by declining to touch his pension, till he has brought in a Bill, either for the extension of the suffrago, or the re vival of the venerable pin -money boroughs ? There was something " very interesting" in the old Tory system of tagging a seat in Parliament to a spinster's apron-string, and so disposing of them by the lot. Before ladies were admissibl e in the House of Com mons, there was humanity as well as policy in provid ing a temporary asylum for hen-pecked sons-in-law. But the subject is too grave to be approached with anything like flippancy. The country has been ap pealed to, and Mr. HUME'S admirable speech on Sa turday last is fast rousing it into action. Already have we received numerous letters from all parts of the country breathing a determination, some to reform, others totally to abolish, the House of Lords. Several have referred us to the votes of the Long Parliament; and altogether we are borne out in inferring that nothing less than the ex clusiom of,,the Bishops, and the responsibility of the Peers to the people, will satisfy the nation. We are decidedly of opinion that nothing less ought to satisfy it. In appealing from the House of Commons to the people, Lord LYNDHURST has appealed from the only body in the State that has manifested, or is disposed to manifest, a sympathy with the feelings which per vade his Lordship's House. Of this the Tories will shortly be furnished with the most abundant proofs. Now, therefore, is the time when every honest Re former ought to bestir himself. No tongue should be ever again suffered to wag against tyranny which remains silent on the subject of the Peers' appeal to the people. He who now holds his peace is a traitor to his country, his principles, and his posterity. Our readers will find in another part of The Sun an outline of the celebrated Constitution of Cadiz. No document can be more generally interesting at the present juncture in Spanish affairs. Several of our Contemporaries have scoffed at the idea of proclaiming such a Constitution without abolishing Monarchy altogether—the co-existence of both being impossible ; others have denounced it as the ignorant fabrication of a set of Atheists, Deists, and Free-thinkers ; and by far the greater number have described it as the scheme of certain dishonest speculators, whose object was the defrauding of the public creditor. The Constitution itself offers the best refutation of all such calumnies. Article 168 declares the person of the KING sacred and inviolable, and that he is not subject to responsibi lity. Does the Constitution of England or the Charter of France do more ? Article 170 vests the entire executive authority in the KING. What more do the Constitutions of England and France ? Article 171 empowers the KING to declare war and make peace, to appoint to all offices, civil, military, and ecclesiastic throughout his kingdom ; to nominate Ministers, Ambassadors, and Consuls, and to dismiss them at his pleasure ; to coin money, and to pardon culprits. Do the Kings of ENGLAND and FRANCE enjoy more ample privileges ? In theory the former does, inasmuch as be cannot be called upon for explanations of his conduct ; but we may safely assert that in practice no King of England since the accession of the House of Brunswick enjoyed so many, nor indeed one half so many. We all know that in England the King is but a name, and that nothing but the most imminent danger to the public tranquillity would render it safe for him to appear other than a name. With respect to the charge of infidelity brought against the framers of the Constitution, we beg to refer them for a correction to the Royal oath. His Most Catholic Majesty there declares himself a King by the " Grace of GOD," conjointly with the will of the Cortes. What Conservative heart will re sist the temptation to hug a Constitution which con tains such a passage? Then the Clergy will be delighted to learn that none but the members of the State Church arc to be so much as tolerated in the kingdom. This surely does not bespeak an infidel origin. There is, in our opinion, more of fanaticism and bigotry than of infidelity, and, consequently, of indifference, in such an asseveration. If not, then are our O'S uLL vA Ns and M'GIIEEs, our RODENs and our ELDONS, and all the sour-visaged spinsters that throng Exeter-hall, only a congregation of infidels. The last charge which we shall notice against the Constitution is in its pretended operation with respect to the public debt. Now Article 355 expressly de clares that the Cortes shall pay particular attention to this branch of the finances ; that the interest of the debt shall be regularly paid ; and that means shall be taken for its faithful liquidation. It even specifies the order in which this is to be done, and decress the esta blishment of offices for the purpose of settling the ac counts so as to give the creditor as little trouble as possible. Subject to slight revision the Constitution of Cadiz contains few articles which we would desire to see struck out. The Royal Oath requires revision so as to place Spain on the same footing with England in respect to religious toleration. So do the Articles for regulating the Regency and for fixing the bounds of the Spanish Monarchs , . But of course the Cortes will readily sanction the re-modelling of a charter which framers thought proper to subject to periodical revision. The whole of the French Journals of Sunday have been received. Their contents are interesting. Three Couriers had been dispatched from Madrid to Paris with an account of the acceptance of the Constitution of Cadiz by the REGENT, but two of them were inter cepted by the Carlists. According to one Ministerial Journal, the remits events at San Ildefonso have had the effect of setting aside all further thoughts of inter vention on the part of France. In the whole of the Journals the New Cabinet is described as composed wholly of Members who belonged to the Liberal emi gration. M. CALATRAVA, the President of the Council, was a Member of the Cortes of 1812 and 1820, and in the memorable flight of FERDINAND from his capital was charged with the safe conduct of the Monarch to Seville. M. FERRER was Minister of Finance and President of the Cortes in 1812. He is reported to be very rich, and very much opposed to the payment of the Royal loans. He is said to be an able financier, and well acquainted with the state of the European Money Market. M. LA CUADRA, the New Minister of the Interior, is a very old man, but he has the reputation of great abilities, and is the confidential adviser of General MINA, who consults him on all difficult occasions. Generals SEOANE and RODIL fought in defence of the Constitution of Cadiz, and latterly against the Usurper Don CARLOS. SEOANE served under MINA when Commander-in -Chief of the army in Navarre, and enjoys a very hi g h m ili tary reputat i on. Thus all the new Ministers are firm Constitutionalists, and moreover they are all the pe rsona l f r i en d s of MENDIZABAL, who is very likely to join them, should the newly elected Cortes re-model and accept the Con stitution. The Journal des Debats is the only paper which troubles itself about the apparently passive attitude of General MINA. According to that organ, his object, and that of his friends, is to obtain the establishment of a Republic. This conjecture is unfounded, and is only hazarded with a view to alarm the fears of the QUEEN. Could her MAJESTY be induced to quit the capital and fly to France for protection, the Doctrinaires would be furnished with a pretext for again attacking the Constitution by means of a French military force. We trust, however, that Mr. VILLIERS will not re act the part of Sir WILLIAM A'COURT in 1823 ; who, that he might maintain a strict neutrality, betook himself to Gibraltar, instead of accompanying the Cortes to Cadiz. Never were the interests of Eng land more basely betrayed in the Peninsula than dur ing the last gallant struggle made by that brave and enlightened assembly against the united power of the Serviles and the French. Mr. VILLIERS has a very difficult and a very delicate part to perform, but all that is wanted is firmness, and a steady support of the QUEEN, so that she may not fall into any of the snares by which the Camarilla are constantly besetting her. Above all, her MAJESTY must be taught to confid e in the virtue and patriotism of her people, and their representatives in the Chamber of the Cortes. It was reported in Paris on Sunday, that the REGENT and her august daughter were on their way to France. Of course this rumour is entirely groundless. The latest arrivals from kladrid represent the QUEEN as per fectly satisfied with the new order of things. The superior Commandant of Badgio, M. Saloman de Musis, was, together with his interpreter, treacherously mur dered on the 4th of August, in a conference which the Sheik of an Arab tribe had solicited.—French Paper. All the towns, and even villages, of Andalusia are proclaim ing the Constitution. The superior Constitutional Junta of the province of Sara gossa has just ordered the formation of battalions wholly com posed of young men, which will be called " Battalions of the Free Arragonese."—National. The southern papers publish a report of General Manuel Labron to the Captain-General of Arragon, dated Alcasing, the 10th of August, announcing that the first division of the central army solemnly proclaimed the Constitution of 1812 on the 7th and Bth, at Castelotte. On the troops manifesting their intention, General Soria gave up the command to Gen. Santa Cruz, who transferred it to Gen. Manuel Labron.— Journal des Debats. In order to comply with the wishes of Alibeaud's family, M. Charles Ladre informs such persons a s ma y hav e any claims to make as creditors of his client, that he is commis sioned to pay his debts. Persons may call every day, between 3 and 6 o'clock, at No. 6, Rue du 29 Juillet. On the night of the 2d instant a crowd of young men per ambulated the streets of Valence, shouting out, " A bas Louis Philippe 1 Vive la Republique 1 Vive Alibeaud I " After a rather sharp conflict five or six were apprehended by the police and military.—Gazette des Tribuneaux. The account published by Government of the movement at St. Ildefonso is taken from a report of M. Bois le Compte, drawn up under the dictation of the Marchioness de Santa Crux, Lady of Honour to the Queen Regent. One passage has been omitted. " Why do you wish for the Constitution ?" said Maria Christina to the soldiers admitted into her apart ment. "In order to be free," answered they. " Soldiers are never free." " Yes, but we shall not always remain soldiers, and when we shall become citizens again, we wish to be free." —Le Siecle. PARIS, AUG. 20.— SPAIN : THE LATEST NEWS.—It was affirmed after change that the Government had yesterday re ceived news from Madrid by the telegraph to the 16th. At that time the city was tranquil, though without Government. M. Isturitz being completely effaced, and General Quesada alone having absolute authority. It was added that negocia lions had been opened under the auspices of M. Villiers be tween the Queen and M. Mendizabal. The latter refused to take the reins of Government unless the entire Dictatorship were confided to him for three months, and till the moment of the meeting of the new Cortes, which be would convoke ac cording to the form of the Constitution of 1812. The Queen resisted these proposals, though M. Villiers urged her to ac cept them. M. de Rayneval, it was affirmed, kept quite aloof from these negotiations.—Messager. This afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, a secretary of the French Legation at Madrid arrived post at the Hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. On alighting, he directly set out for Neuilly, whether the Spanish Ambassador immediately proceeded. It was reported after the departure of the Envoy Extraordinary, that Queen Christina and her innocent daughter were at their moment on their way from I.4t.drid to Paris. They may come. The Elysees Bourbon, Meudon, or St. Cloud are ready to receive them. —National. A journal this morning accuses the Ministry of having con cealed for a whole day the telegraphic despatch which an nounced to it the events at St. Ildefonso, which despatch, it is said, arrived at Paris on the 16th. We arc authorised to declare that the statement is false. The Ministry did not receive the despatch till the 17th, and it appeared the same evening, word for word, in the Gazette de Paris.—Journal de Paris. PARIS, Avo. 21.—The journals and letters from Barcelona, which we havo received, are of the 9th. It was said at Bour deaux, that Mina had issued, on the 9th, a new proclamation to induce the people to remain quiet ; but that it was believed that he would not long be able to prevent the Constitution from being proclaimed. The following extract from the Phare strengthens these apprehensions. After giving the news from Barcelona to the 9th, it adds : " Fresh troubles are feared for the 11th, on which day it is intended to proclaim the Constitution of 1812. The French settled at Barcelona were preparing to send their most va luable effects on board the French ships. General Mina is obliged to be circumspect in his behaviour to the secret so cieties." It seems that Gen. Evans had at length a conference with Gen. Harispe. Incredible stories are told of the nullity of this English commander as a military man, Gen. Harispe hav ing, in t he course of conversation, let fall some general advice on the way to be taken to occupy Fontarabia and It un, ad vice which a French serjeant would have understood. The English General opened an enormous mouth, and shook his head with marks of incredulity. Our correspondent writes, that lie is a man wholly unequal to the part he has under taken ; and when you have seen him you are no longer sur prised at the nullity of the results which he has obtained with the means at his disposal. It is said that there has been a movement at Valencia, but we have not yet any details on this subject. We only read in the Memorial Bordelais that Pa lacca has succeeded in preserving order in the city.—Journal du Commerce, Aug. 21. Letters from Bayonne, to the 18th inst., state that ono hundred and thirty deserters from the British Le gion had arrived in the suburbs of that city. Their abjectness, fatigue, and squalor, prevented the authori ties from admitting them into the town among the in habitants. It was reported that Mr. HARVEY, the British Consul, refused to have any thing to do with them, and that the French Government had ordered their removal to Calais, in order that they might be transported back to this country. General EVANS has partially recovered his health ; but the spirit of the Legion seems quite broken, and the men refuse to obey the commands of their officers, unless they are paid according to their contract with the Spanish Authorities. To complete the misery of this body of troops the Spanish Consul at Bayonne caused it to be intimated to the British Consul, on the evening of the 17th inst., for the information of our Government, that the Legion would receive no further supplies of rations after the close of the present month. What General EVANS proposes to do in this emergency we do not know ; but his situation at the present moment is far from enviable. The French Auxiliary Legion has experienced very different treatment at the hands of the Spanish Go vernment. General LEBEAU arrived at Pampeluna on the 12th, and on the following day General BER NELLE resigned to him the command of the troops. The first act of LEBEAU was to order 100,000 ra tions of buscuits ; the second to publish the following bulletin : " The King of the French has honoured me with the com mand of the foreign and French Legions in the service of Spain. Queen Isabella has added to this honour the com mand of the corps of operations of Navarre. My task I know is difficult ; but the experience of an old soldier will guide me in my duties, and the admiration I have ever felt for the Spanish nation will always be present to me. I precede the numerous auxiliary troops which France, in virtue of her alliance with Spain, sends to her aid. A month will not elapse ere they arrive. But the Spanish warriors already round me form a happy prelude of the reinforcements which I an nounce." German Papers of the latest dates have been re ceived. They bring advices from Constantinople to the 30th ult. Lord PONSONBY was then on the best terms with the new REIs EFFENDI. The plague had re-appeared in Syria, particularly at Beyrout, where it was committing great ravages. The following are extracts from these Journals : " STOCKHOLM, AUG. 12. —The Statestedning of today announces that on the 31st of May, this year, a treaty was concluded between his Majesty and the King of the French, for the abolition of the slave trade. It was ratified at Paris on the 30th of June, and here on the 9th of July. M. Clary is gone to Norway. BERLIN, AUG. 16.—We now hear nothing more of the de parture of the officers (selected for that purpose) to Constan tinople. They are, however, directed to hold themselves in readiness to set out a moment's notice. HAMEURGH, Auo. 19,—1n the meeting of citizens yester day tho Senate proposed :- 1.

Our readers will recollect that the last examination was postponed in consequence of some informality in the accounts ; and to day it was further postponed till the 31st, that informality not being removed. Several minor debts were proved. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. A poor Scotchman, evidently labouring under insanity, was brought before Mr. MINSIIULI„ charged with being disorderly, at six o'clock this morning, in Lincoln's Inn. On being asked his name by the Magistrate, he said it was the same now as before. The officers said he had been brought up before, and his name was William Muir. . . . Policeman 44 F said the prisoner was, at the time named, creating a great disturbance in the square of Lincoln's Inn. He was throwing his arms about, and making a strange inco herent noise. With difficulty he was got to the station house ; and on being locked up, he broke all the wood work he could lay his hands upon, and tore the fastenings of the hot-air pipes out of the wall. The damages were stated at 7s. The Magistrate inquired if he had any friends. He said they were an article that was very thinly sown. He lived near the Middlesex Hospital. The Magistrate said he was evidently out of his senses. He sentenced him to pay 75., or be imprisoned one month, and then to find bail. He ordered the officer to go to the address given, and apprise the prisoner's friends, so that he might be taken care of. THE KING'S SPEECH.—In the copy of the King's Speech, read from the throne, the words at the end of the sixth paragraph, after " I trust that this circumstance will tend to draw still closer the ties which connect this country with two great and friendly nations," should have been wholly omitted. The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, gave his farewell dinner on Friday last, in Hamilton-place, to Viscounts Melbourne and Howick, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, the Speaker, Messrs. R. Gordon, Hume, Warburton, &c. Sir Francis Burdett is still rusticating at his seat, Foreraark, Derbyshire, for the benefit of his health. Mr. Spring Rice is expected to take his departure in the course of a few days for Limerick, but will return to this country in the course of a month. The Earl of Cork and Orrery is passing the autumn at Marston House, near Frome, in Somersetshire. The Earl of Derby has been for some time busily engaged in superintending the alterations and improvements which have been made in Knowsley Park. The new farm yard is now completed, and for convenience is not surpassed by any other in England. His Lordship, it is well known, has long been a most devoted ornithologist; his aviaries con tain the rarest specimens of the feathered tribe. To allow an increased indulgence to this favourite pursuit, the aviary al lotted to foreign virds has been much enlarged, and numerous choice kinds have been added. _ Married, at the house of the British Ambassador in Brussels, on Saturday last, by the Rev. E. Jenkins, John Edward Venables Vernon, Esq., of Clontarf Castle, Dublin, to Louisa Catherine, only daughter of Charles P. Bowles, Esq., late of Old Park, Isle of Wight, and Park-lane, London. Lady Robert Seymour is passing her widowhood at that romantic villa, Tali Arias, in South Wales. The Attorney-General returned to town yesterday, from the Liverpool Assizes, where he has been on a special retainer. Friday one of the boilers belonging to the stationary engine on the Liverpool railway burst, and a man named Wilson was killed by being dreadfully scalded ; he was ac tually blown to the side opposite to where he stood. The other men were likewise so much bruised and scalded that little hopes are entertained of their recovery. Administration was on Wednesday taken out to the effects of the late Mr. Rothschild, in Great Britain, which were sworn to be under 1,000,0001. sterling, and the probate duty amounted to 15,0001. CHASE EXTRAORDINARY.—A greyhound be longing to a gentleman of Devizes, on passing the road near Potterne a few days since, being apparently frightened at the sight of three foxhounds which came by, started off at full speed. The foxhounds immediately started after it ; and, notwithstanding the greyhound gained upon them, they con tinued in full chase, running through the greater part of the town, until the greyhound took shelter in its master's house in Devizes. The Brussels papers of Saturday announce that the opthalmia again prevails amongst the military, and that 300 soldiers afflicted with the disease have been sent, in six weeks, into the hospital. The Ladies in the House of Lords on Saturday had an opportunity of witnessing what is seldom seen on the same day—especially on the day of prorogation,—viz., a Peer taking his seat, a judgment given in an appeal cause, mes sages coming up from the Commons, and legislative business done by the House. In the report of the London and Birmingham Rail way, which has just been issued, we perceive that the amount of " payments for obtaining the act of incorporation" was 72,8681. 18s. 10d. The German papers arrived yesterday contain, un der the head of Berlin, a deplorabl.e account of the condition of East and West Prussia, which suffer in consequence of the decay ut the corn and timber trade. The revenue of Elbing, a town of 16,000 inhab!tants, is said not to be sufficient to light the streets. In Paderborn, too, it is said that the peasants are in so bad a condition that they have been exempted from taxes for three years. It will, we have no doubt, turn out in the end that the very paternal Government of Prussia is very ruinous to its subjects. Last Thursday the body of a Mr. Imeson was dis covered in a brake. About eighteen months ago he suddenly disappeared, and notwithstanding every search was made, no tidings of him had ever been heard till this week. —Devonporl In , lependent. Several of the French performers of the St. James's and Queen's Theatres are about to pay professional visits to the most fashionable towns in the neighbourhood of London. Their first representation will be at Richmond, on Friday next. M. Fabien Mars is the conductor of the enterprise. The intention of erecting a monument in Lichfield Cathedral to the late Bishop Ryder, representing him in the act of confirmation, has been abandoned by the advice of Sir F. Chantry, who is engaged to execute a simple statue of the Bishop. —Derbyshire Chronicle. The actual sittings of the Lords during the Session just passed were 119 days—those of the Commons 130 days, including, according to a sort of Hibernian computation, the " no houses," " countings out," &c. REPRESENTATION OF EAST CUMBERLAND.— On Friday the House of Commons ordered a new writ for the Eastern Division of the county of Cumberland, in the room of Mr. W. Blamire, appointed Chief Tithe Commissioner. On Saturday the Union Derby and Nottingham coach, which leaves Derby about one o'clock in the day, was overturned on its way to Nottingham, when near the Lodge at Spondon, in consequence of the lynch-pin of one of the wheels falling out, and the wheel becoming detached from the body of the vehicle. The coach was heavily laden (full inside and out), and we very much regret to find, that one female (Mrs. Pigott, of Findern, near Derby, an outside passenger), had her leg broken by the accident, and was otherwise much bruised. Several persons received severe contusions. The coachman, all admit, was entirely free from blame, as he was driving at a moderate rate ; and indeed the cause of the upset almost precludes the possibility of there having been any error on his part. —Derbyshire Chronicle. RATTLIN THE REEFER.—Whether Captain Mar ryat be the author, or but the Editor of this novel, it will be acknowledged in every way worthy of his well-acquired repu tation. In some respects it displays a power even greater than we find in his acknowledged productions. It is for the most part nautical,land thoroughly true to life on the quarter-deck— the characters of the Captain, the Doctor, and Rattlin, being quite on a par even with Smollet. In its scenes and characters ashore it is equally, and in one instance, perhaps, more success ful. The episode of Josephine is a sketch of exceeding grace and beauty, while Mrs. Causand is drawn with a power, bril. liancy, and originality, which few writers of fiction could rival. Hervieu, who has thrown so much piquancy into Mrs. Trollope's books, has also been of some assistance to the Reefer, with his spirited and expressive etchings. —Morning Herald. SUCCORY COFFEE.—Succory root, cut, dried, torrified, and ground to powder, is most exsensively employed as a substitute for coffee, or rather, I ought to say, to adulte rate coffee. A full account of the preparation of it will be found in the Annales de Chyntie, lix., p. 307. Its consump. tion is so great, that some fear has been expressed of its se riously injuring the trade in, and cultivation of, coffee; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has proposed to lay a tax on it. I am told that it is employed very largely by grocers to adulterate their coffee, by coffee-house keepers, and by eco nomical housekeepers. It yields a perfectly wholesome and beverage, but wants that fine aromatic flavor peculiar to coffee, and for which the latter is so celebrated.—M. Pereins' Lectures, in the Medical Gazette. A very numerous and respectable meeting of the electors of Newcastle was held in the Music Hall there, on Tuesday evening last, Mr. Alderman Potter in the chair, for the purpose of forming a Reform Association. A new chapel is erecting at Edgbaston, near Bir mingham ; it is built from a design by J. J. Scoles, Esq., at the expense of Lord Calthorpe, aided by a legacy of 5001., bequeathed by the will of the late Mr. Samuel Wheeley, of Edgbaston. On Tuesday night week, as the mail was on its way from Leeds to London, the Wakefield bag was by some means lost from the coach ; whether it had been taken from the mail by some robber, who must have been disturbed in his work of plunder, or lost by accident, the particulars have not yet tran spired. Suffice it to say, that the bag was found beneath a tree, in a field in the parish of Sandal', on Wednesday morning, by a farming man named William Smith, who entered the field for the purpose of catching a horse, and discovered the bag opened ; some letters also appeared to have been opened, but the man conveyed the bag to the post-office as he dis covered it, from whence, we understand, it has since been for warded to its destination.—Doncaster Gazette.

The King's natal day (yesterday) was celebrated to-day both in the castle and in the town. Upon his Majesty entering the breakfast-room this morning, the following glees were per formed by part of the choir of the Royal Chapel, Windsor, assisted by Mr. J. Hobbs, of the Chapel Royal, St. James's, and Mr. Hawkins, of St. Paul's :—" Hail, smiling Morn ( Spofforth) ; " Hail, Star of Brunswick " ( Webb) ; " When Britain on her sea-girt Shore " ( Arne) ; " Down in a flowery Vale" ( Wilks) ; " God save the King" was also performed , at the singing of which the Queen and King, the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Victoria, came to the front window, and stood while it was being sung. At one o'clock the Royal Fu sileers formed in the north part of the Little Park, and fired a feu de joie, which was answered from the cannons on the North Terrace. The King and most of the Royal party were upon the ground, and afterwards went to Virginia Water. His Majesty gives a grand dinner this evening, in St. George's Hall, to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, the Princess Augusta, Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipsthal, the Earl of Winchilsea, and the other visi tars at the Castle, the officers of the Life Guards, and of the Royal Fusilcers, and the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood. About 170 are expected to dinner. His M a " esty is looking remarkably well. THEATRES. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. Last night, after "The Mountain Sylph" and "House Room," the operatic drama of " Clari, the Maid of Milan," was produced at this thhatre. It is a piece which, from its very first appearance, has been well received. It deserved such success. It is moral, tender, and pathetic ; and, except upon an utterly depraved heart, can scarcely fail to produce such an effect as will dissuade the wavering from vice, and fill the seducer with repentance. Miss Shirreff appeared for the first time in the character of Clari, and succeeded, perhaps, beyond the ex pectations which even her greatest admirers might have formed of her. When she finds that she is the intended victim of perjury and lust, that the promise of marriage which seduced her from an obscure but happy home is to be broken, Miss Shirreff's feelings are not suffi ciently tragic, nor her voice powerful enough, to give the requi site force to ner language. But the brokenheartedness of an af fectionate creature, who, though foolish and credulous, is scarcely guilty—the repentance, the love of parents, in a word, every good and tender sentiment which the part embraces—were con veyed by Miss Shirreff in a manner which could scarcely fail to draw tears from any person in whom the springs of sorrow were not dried. Her acting, at least upon this occasion, was, in our estimation, beyond her singing. It is true that in this latter department she has not much to do, and the little she has to execute was by no means equal to her acting. The lesson has been a thousand times inculcated upon singers, male and female, that sinless the poetry be as distinctly heard as the music half the effect is lost. Now, in that exquisitely pathetic air, " There is no place like home," we did not hear one word distinctly and audibly articulated by Miss Shirreff. She was, however, rapturous!) , encored, and, indeed, throughout her reception was, as it deserved to be, most encouraging. She was more effective in the closing scene than in any other, and Mr. Willams, as Rolamo, though somewhat tedint o in recrimination, expressed with great effect the sorrows of a bereaved parent. STRAND. An " original burletta," (as it is called in the bills) entitled "Blind Man's Buff; or, Who pays the Bill? " was produced last night at this Theatre. We did not perceive much of the announ ce d or i g i na lit y ; the piece is a very amusing trifle, however, being made up of the old mate rials ; namely, an obstinate guardian, a harsh uncle, a graceless ne phew, and a wayward ward, who, after passing through their varioub characters, undergo the usual metamorphoses so necessary to the usual denouement—marriage. The hero of the piece is a sort of Jeremy Diddler, who, eventually seeing the error of his ways, is forgiven by a rich old uncle, and obtains the lady of his affections. " Blind Alan's Buff" is a light, pleasant, laughable production, and the managemen t . has a right to be well pleased with its reception. "The Bill Sticker,' " Hercules," and " Othello" followed, in all which Mr. Hammond sue" ceeded in producing the usual effect on the risible muscles of the AU . dienoe. QUEEN'S. The exertions of the conductors of this amusing little theatre deserve well of the public; and it is to be hoped that the merits of the Compan/ they have engaged, and the deserving character of the entertainment s which they produce, will meet with that degree of patronage and suP. port which they have every right to expect. Since the season com menced there has been no want of novelty here • and in proof that there is every disposition on their part to render their establishment as attractive as possible, they last night brought forward a new burletts , entitled " Who's Afraid; or, the Vaults of St. Cosmo." The piece wall announced for repetition without a dissentient voice, and it was sue. ceeded by " John of Paris," " West Country Wooing," and " Wilbert' Tell," in which the performances of Mrs. Waylett and Mr. Green are especially deserving of favourable notice. The house was moderate/ well filled, but we wousd, just before we conclude, throw out a hin t that the box.keepers should not be allowed to keep the boxes in the front of the house empty until they have solid reasons for having the ul occupied. SURREY THEATRE. The performances at this house are really becoming worthy of "ho nourable mention." They are beginning to be so good as to challenge critical remark upon what may be bad in them; and to advance to that position from what they long were, is to make very considerable pro gress indeed. We are happy, also, to observe that the improved order of things in the management is eminently successful; the production of pieces of a superior class is drawing full houses, which is a gratify ing evidence that when houses are badly attended, it is because th e performances do not come up to the standard of the public mind A n r, taste. The entertainments of l a st even i ng were " P au l Clifford's A ni. " The Waterman" (two operatic pieces!), with the real Bedoui n Arabs. " Paul Clifford" is a pretty adaptation, and it was supporte d with remarkable spirit, by th e exce ll en t ac ti ng a nd s inging of X t. ,: Collins (whose first appearance it was at this theatre) as Pau l ; of Miss Byfield as " Lucy Brandon ;" and of Miss Martin a!, Miss Terpsichore. Mr. Collins as Tom Tug, in " The Waterman," an d Miss Byfield as Miss Wilhelmina, in the same piece, were much apt plauded, the one for his fine manly voice, and the other for her sWe e e unaffected style. Of the Bedouin Arabs we need scarcely say ro nr o than that they are the Bedouin Arabs of the Colosseum. Those Ah have seen their performances know well how highly they deserve to be estimated; and persons who have not seen them would form but an i n : 0 distinct idea of their extraordinary character from any description lin , which we could enter. The feats ofagility and strength are wondcrfr. There are some who object to the " tableaux vivant" exhibitions , r e cause they generally consist of numberless distortions, which appear so( be painful, if they are not so ; but the peculiarity of the performanc e° t the Bedouin Arabs is that there is nothing in them in the slight: a degree offensive, while they exhibit physical powers that seem to sr" almost superhuman. VICTORIA, Last night a new nautical drama, entitled " Rattlin the Reefer,"!: produced at this theatre. The plot of the piece is borrowed froth popular Novel bearing the same title. To those whose delight it is to 0 '; ness " battle, murder, and sudden death," we know not any drama well calculated to gratify them as " Rattlin the Reefer." In the thfu acts of which it is composed, there are not less than two abductioil; two burglaries, several attempts at assassination, various murders, 310 last, though not least, a glorious sea fight, acted so much to the life,,.„ to prevent the hero of the piece (represented by Mrs. Vining), from 171.,„ pearing for some time, in consequence of a blow received fromt crew of the enemy's ship he was boarding. sib When to those attractions are added some good scener y, dancing, ing, and certainly capital acting by Mrs. Vining, Mr. Arche r, , 01 Suter, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Baker, we have said enoug h t o show th at bail applause with which it was received was deserved, and there O n little doubt of its frequent and successful repetition at the Victoria. VAUXHALL GARDENS. • rff Last night these Gardens were opened with attractions of 010. splendour in honour of his Majesty's bi r th-d a y, an d th oug h the Wea` to pta looked threatening towards evening it h e ld u p w ith t o l e rable 80°d fu lfel o mour ; and the attendance of visitors was consequently 'ref/ 0 4 Amongst the illuminations we must particularise a very large s, splendid device of St. George and the Dragon, which shone fort h 1 " very spirited and brilliant style. The Italian walk is a new fea ture of the Gardens this year, and a very beautiful one, the long ave n trees being illuminated a la Nature, and presenting more the $P)1 1 - 2 01. ance of a fairy grove than anything we have seen even at Vau...as The entertainments were diversified and strung together as thics,der, onions on a rope ; in fact, it was but one uninterrupted series o f Won moving sights and sounds. The rope-dancing was of a most astenvio ing and interesting character ; the " Ravel Family" were in f ull The and activity; and Buckingham's Imitations as like as ever. ; ON , finales were as splendid as the occasion deserved, particularly the eter h eluding one, with the motto " Long live the King," in gold en le' amidst a volcano of rockets, cannons, &c.
